MORE men seek after notOriety than
usefulness. Here is a recent exam
pie: Rowley Patterson, an amateur
astronomer of Dansville, N. Y, has set
tied question about which there has
been much discussion. He asserts that
on the day of judgement the solar sys-
TEN will be fused into 4 glowing, nebu-
lous mass. The wicked will be cast
into this somewhat torrid environment.
and the good will be transferred to the
planet Beular. On this planet the
New jerusalem, 1900 miles square, is
to be located. This planet, for econom-
ical reasons, has not yet been formed,
as it will not be needed until after. the

THE New York Herald says this
about our navy and its secretary :
The country is to be congratulated
that Secretary Whitney has, by the
business-like use of the small appropri-
ations Congress did make, secured the
establishment by private enterprise of
works which will furnish, not after
many years, but within less than eigh-
teen months, steel for both guns and
armor-steel of the best kind, in suffi-
Gent quantities not only for guns, but
for armor superior to that borne to-day
by any European armored ship ahoat
or building, and that at prices low
enough to compare with even poorer
qualities of armor used abroad.

SINCE the recent ugly behavior OF
the Mississippi river, the Birmingham
Chronicle makes this suggestion: The
old river seems to enjoy destructive
play. 1t loves to break levee as a
child loves to break a toy. 1t loves
to flood parish or two in the spring
and then be good and easy for awhile,
doing nothing worse than running a
plantation or two by changing its
channel. The only way to treat this
giant is for the government to put a
straight jacket on him from New Or.

The extensive cotton seed oil and
fertilizer mills at Raleigh were burned
Sunday morning. Loss $4,000, with
$4,000 insurance. The fire is sup
posed to have originated IN the engine
room. The mills were operated until
a late hour Saturday night. The new
oil mill was built last year. Its capac-
ity was twenty-four hundred gallons
daily while the capacity of the fertili-
ger mill was seventy-five tons per day.
Last autumn the mills were acquired by
the Cotton Seed Oil Trust Co., which
operated them day and night, to their
full capacity. The mills will be at once
rebuilt and enlarged and will be ready
for next season. Four colored firemen
were injured by falling walls,

NO SOUTHERN MAN NEED
APPLY.

This is a republican form ofgovern-
ment-a government of the people,
by the people and for the people, we
are told-and at present under a
Democratic Administration. In the
face of all this the following press dis
patch from Washington City, dated
March IS, will no doubt strike some
people as little peculiar. It says:
Representative Gibson, of West Vir-
GINA, went to the Postofflce Depart
ment a day or two ago to do what he
could toward having one Of his con-
stituents, Amman Kama, a iaborer in
that department, who had worked for
year in the lowest place there, pro-
NOTED to the position of Waterman.
Mr.. Smith, Republican, who has
control of all such appointments, asked
! Mr.. Gibson whether the man he de-
sired to have promoted had been a
Union soldier, and when informed hi
! iIdu no., tCiU MI. NiDSOiI tlIdt ~ JUL
promotion as he asked for was made
in that department unless in the case
! of eX-UniOn soldiers.
Mr. Gibson expressed surprise al
such a rule, and asked for a printed
copy Of it. Mr.. Smith replied tina
such a rule had never been issued II
printed form, but that it was general,
understood and was in operation al
the same. Mr.. Gibson went immedi
ately to the room of the Postmaste
General, and telling him what he hat
heard in Mr.. Smiths room, asked if
was possible that such a rule was reall,
enforced. Upon being given to under
stand that it was, he told Mr.. Villa
that the rule, of course, shut out no
only every ex-Confederate but ever
Southern man from promotion, AM
asked him if he was aware that South
ern people had votes. To this a yer
unsatisfactory reply was made, and Nj
Gibson retired with such grace as pos
sible under the circumstance. TIL
above statement is made on the author
ity of Mr.. Gibson himself.

Mr.. CICERO w. HARRIS, the very
intelligent Washington correspondent
of the Goldsboro Messenger, writing
under date of March 18th, makes the
following mention of Gen. w. R. Cox
and his prospects of obtaining an i'm
portant Federal appointment. He
says:
| learn that the President telegraph
cd to-day for Gen. Cox to return to
this city. When the General left las!
week he had long and pleasant inter
view with the President, and as he was
about to withdraw Mrs Cleveland
came in and babe him good bye.
They both expressed the wish to have
him reside in Washington. Gen. Cox
replied that his interests lay in North
Carolina and Baltimore, but that he
should be pleased in passing to pay
his respects to the President and Mrs
Cleveland He has had the option, SC
it is understood, of two important
foreign appointments. 1t is believed
that he has always preferred high ju-
dicial position. There is, however, a
complication in the case, not due to
any lack of confidence in Gen. Cox,
but to the candidature long ago of an
other prominent North Carolinian.
When the gossips discussed this morn
ing the reported resignation of Score
tary Endicott, the name of Gen. Cox
was mentioned in connection with the
succession. Unless you could be here
a week or two, you could form no idea
of the hold he has on the political
mind of the capital.

'T've got hired girl at last" said Mrs.
Dixon of Franklin avenue, to her caller.
"She has lived for several years with Mrs.
Smith, but you know, the Smiths have
gone to the seashore for the season, and so

Smith tells me, but you will find her very
set in her ways" And so Mrs Dixon
found. The first clash was over the pur-
chase of Pearline. Kitty was bound to
have il, but Mrs, Dixon was skeptical as to
its merits and believed in the virtue of
ordinary soap. A battle oyal was fought,
but kittv's threat to leave forthwith
brought her mistress grudgingly to terms,

household. il was but little time until
Mrs. Dixon became On enthusias tic con

yellow, but dazzlingly white, and that,
too, without being worn out by long. hard
rubbing. The household glories shared

the house speedily became SO bright and
fresh looking that one would suppose it
freshly painted the floors were clean and
bright enough ito eat OF OFF, as a visitor
remarked; the old time stains disapp cared
from the marble of wash-stands AMI man
tells; the dishes no longer had o greasy

more quickly and twice as easily done
for Pearline was the magic agent that ac-
complished these wonders. Now Mrs.
Dixon wonders how she ever kept house
without it.-Toiedo Blade.

TTO BE CoTINUED.1
General Lee i'm the WI derness Cam
paign.


From an illustrated description from
the Wilderness of COlk Harbor, in the
June Century, we quote as follows:
General Lee held so completely the
pdmiration and confidence of his men
that his conduct of campaign was
rarely criticised. Few points present
themselves in his campaign from the
Wilderness to Cold Harbor upon which
criticism can lay hold, when all the
circumstances are considered. His
plan OF striking the flank Of Grants
army as it passed through the Wilder
ness is above criticism. Fault can be
found only with its execution. The
two divisions of Longstreet at Gordons-
Vile, and Anderson's division of HIPS
corps left on the Upper Rapidan, were
too widely separated from the rest of
the army, and, as the event proved,
should have been in supporting distance
of A. T.. Hill on the Orange Plank road
on the afternoon of the 9Th OF May.
That he did not strike Grant damag-
ing blow when he had him at such dis
advantage on the Forth Anna may seem
strange to those who had witnessed his
bold aggressiveness at the Wilderness
and on other fields. He was i'll and
confined to his tent at the time;
but, as showing his purpose had he been
able to keep the saddle, he was heard
to say, as he lay Frustrated by sickness,
we must strike them blow, we must
never let them pass us again. What
ever General Lee did, his men thought
1t the best that could be done under
the circumstances. Their feeling to-
wards him Is well illustrated by the
remark Of ragged rebel who took Off
his hat to the general as he was passing
and received like courteous salute In
return: God bless Marse Robert wish
he was emperor of this county and I
was his carriage
